Midnight brooded weired and lone;

OF the clock. as one by ans,
From It's steady hands the minutes fell lptC

Close beside the larger bed
Stood the cradle in its place.
Mid the blankets, softly spread,
Lay the baby's golden head,
And his light breath, coming, going. gently
tanned against my face.
Something IN the darkness stirred.

A Girl of Honolulu.

A Girl of Honolulu.
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.
How beautiful she was? How wild!
Pure as water plant. this child.
This one wild child of nature here
Grown tall in shadows. And how near
10 God, where no man stood between
her eve and scenes no man hath seen.
Stop still my friend. and do not STIR,
Shut close your page and think of her.
Inc birds sang sweeter for her face;
Her lifted eyes were like a grace;
The rippled rivers of her hair
That ran In wOndrous waves somehow
Flowed down divided by the brow,
And mantled her within its care,
perfume and an incense lay
Before her, as an incense sweet
Before blithe mowers of sweet hay
In early morn. Her certain feet
Embarked on no uncertain way.
Come. think how perfect before men;
HOW sweet as sweet magnolia bloom,
EmDaimed IN dew OF morning when
New sunlight leaps from midnight gloon
Enthralied to kiss, and first to kiss,
\ es. she was tempting like to this.
She was as the Madonna too
The tawny, dreamful, faithful few
Who touched her hand and knew her soul;
Sac drew them. drew tuem as the pole
Points all things to itself. She drew
Souls upward as the moon of spring,
High wheeling, vast and shining full,
Half clad In clouds and white as wool,
Draws all the strong seas following.

swishes through the water, and the
